Portrait Of Jacopo Sannazaro
''Portrait of Jacopo Sannazaro'', also known as ''Portrait of a Man'', is an oil painting by the Venetian master Titian, dated to about 1513.Whitaker; Clayton 2007, p. 188. It is part of the Royal Collection, and hangs in Buckingham Palace. Subject Both the names formerly given to this picture, Giovanni Boccaccio, ''Boccaccio'' and ''Alessandro de' Medici, Duke of Florence, Alessandro de' Medici'', are incorrect.Gronau 1904, p. 43. The sitter is now thought to be Jacopo Sannazaro, a poet and humanist from Naples. This identification was first proposed by Georg Gronau in 1895, and is supported by an early copy of the painting (Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool) inscribed ''Sincerus Sannzarius'' ("Actius Sincerus" was a known alias of Sannazaro). History The portrait has been dated variously from to the early 1520s. The style of the sitter's clothing and hair suggest a date closer to 1513; certainly before 1520. According to Gronau, "It has in style its companion in the ''Port ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Portraits By Titian
A portrait is a painting, photograph, sculpture, or other artistic representation of a person, in which the face and its expressions are predominant. The intent is to display the likeness, personality, and even the mood of the person. For this reason, in photography a portrait is generally not a snapshot, but a composed image of a person in a still position. A portrait often shows a person looking directly at the painter or photographer, in order to most successfully engage the subject with the viewer. History Prehistorical portraiture Plastered human skulls were reconstructed human skulls that were made in the ancient Levant between 9000 and 6000 BC in the Pre-Pottery Neolithic B period. They represent some of the oldest forms of art in the Middle East and demonstrate that the prehistoric population took great care in burying their ancestors below their homes. The skulls denote some of the earliest sculptural examples of portraiture in the history of art. Historical portraitur ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Dutch Gift
The Dutch Gift of 1660 was a collection of 24 mostly Italian Renaissance paintings, four by Dutch Masters, and twelve classical sculptures. The gift was presented to newly-restored King Charles II of England on 16 November by envoys of the States of Holland. Most of the paintings and all the Roman sculptures were from the Reynst collection, the most important seventeenth-century Dutch collection of paintings of the Italian sixteenth century, formed in Venice by Jan Reynst (1601–1646) and extended by his brother, Gerrit Reynst (1599–1658). The gift reflected the taste Charles shared with his father, Charles I, whose large collection, one of the most magnificent in Europe, had mostly been sold abroad after he was executed in 1649. Charles II was not as keen a collector as his father, but appreciated art and was later able to recover a good number of the items from the pre-war collection that remained in England, as well as purchasing many further paintings, and many sig ...

A burin ( ) is a steel cutting tool used in engraving, from the French ''burin'' (cold chisel). Its older English name and synonym is graver. Etymology The term ''burin'' refers to a tool used by engravers that has a thin, pointed blade and it used to etch or cut. The first known use of the word dates back to France in the mid-1600s when the term was coined for the tool we know today. Design The burin consists of a rounded handle shaped like a mushroom, and a tempered steel shaft, coming from the handle at an angle, and ending in a very sharp cutting face. The most ubiquitous types have a square or lozenge face, a high-end repertoire has many others. A tint burin consists of a square face with teeth, to create many fine, closely spaced lines. A stipple tool allows for the creation of fine dots. A flat burin consists of a rectangular face, and is used for cutting away large portions of material at a time. The earliest uses of a burin come from the Lower Paleolithic era, t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
